This. Did she see all that shit in a vision in the flames? Usually those visions are pretty vague and often wrong. At least in Mellisandre's case.

I thought that scene with Red Priestess from Volantis last season was awesome. Varys jawjacking her re Stannis and then getting shook big time when she fired back with the comment about his past was great. Still, I'm quite surprised that that storyline didn't go anywhere. I know in hindsight it just seems to have been included to indicate that certain LOL followers were pushing Dany as the Chosen One, just as Mel had been championing Stannis.

Even still, kind of funny to me that Dany was welcoming to Melisandre with the comment that the Fire Priestesses helped to keep the peace in Essos (Tyrion and Varys recruited the High Priestess for that purpose). Meanwhile, the absolute shit hit the fan in spite of that woman's help as the Wise Masters and SOH besieged Mereen and peace was only achieved when Dany and the dragons wrecked house.

They really should have had him with them for the expedition north of the Wall in episode 6.

Ghost vs Wight Bear for the Cleganebowl undercard. Book it Dana!

He definitely should have gone with them, but I'm sort of glad he didn't because I bet they would have killed him off. Particularly, he wouldn't have boarded Drogon with Jon boy lagging behind providing cover for the good guys so he would have got murked worse than Summer.

But yeah def for an upcoming card for sure. Ghost, Ramsay's re-trained hounds, and Nymeria and the pack vs. Army of the Undead Animals next season. Book it.

You mean the way he did withNed, only to have him executed like a common criminal? Or with Robb, only to have him and his pregnant wife, mother and most of his important retainers killed at the Red Wedding? And people keep saying "HBO is really in charge". No they're not, so stop saying baseless things like that to try to justify your position.

While I do admit he went a tad over board with the tear down...that's generally what you do to hero's before you build them back up and have them become victorious...

I don't like the whole fought on a lie teminology because it implies that Robert and Jon Arryn and Ned were fighting for the wrong reasons. Rhaegar and Lyanna fucked up. If they were in love, they should have made that shit public. Instead, her brother and her father got the Wildfire treatment for no good reason from the fucking Mad King. Baratheon wasn't some dick who was looking to thwart the young lovers because he wanted Lyanna for himself. That rebellion was fought because innocent vassals were slaughtered and Rhaegar running off with Lyanna was the impetus for that.

The consequence of knowing Jon's heritage is that he and Dany WILL NOT STAY TOGETHER!

Dany's all about being queen and knowing that Jon has legitimate claim to the throne before her is going to fuck with her head.

Besides, we don't know what Dany's stance is on the incestual aspect of their relationship.

Jon also hasn't seen how ruthless Dany can be. Once he does, he's going to lose his chubby for her.

On the other hand I also have a feeling Varys might switch to Jon Snow's side after realising that he is far more stable compared to Dany's bend or burn policy (much like her father).

Dany spent her entire life growing up assuming she was going to Marry her brother before being sold to Drogo. He was fondling her breast in the first episode of the series and she was looking at him longingly. Incest is desensitized in the Targaryen family. If anything, she will see him as the perfect match. A chance to both marry the person she should to ensure succession AND follow her heart. He is the perfect foil to her dark side. The guy with no political motivations aside from honor and keeping innocents safe.

Quite frankly, she heeded his counsel when she planned on flying to and burning down the red keep when she was being hardheaded and ignoring her other Councillors. A simple speech from Jon was enough for her to look away embarrassed that she was thinking of burning parts of a city with non military innocent targets. Instead she flew against Jaime's army returning from the reach

If anyone is going to have an "OMG ewww" moment about this, it is Jon.

I wonder if the narrative purpose of Tormund being interested in Brienne is to create a love rival for Jaime and prompt him into making a move. At least, we can hope.

Everyone thinks Jaime is into her and I just don't see it. I see him respecting her and kind of envying the fact that she tries her best to keep her oaths to people no matter how much she could have said fuck it (with like Cat dying she still forcefully wants to uphold that one).

If Jamie wasn't such a gentleman he'd make the same face when Brienne looks at him as Brienne makes when Tormund looks at her.
